I don't know why Jacare isn't being talked about as a possible match-up for Silva. I realize that Rockhold beat him, but Jacare appears to have improved considerably since then. I think he would have a very good shot at subbing Silva, and his striking actually looks pretty good now as well.

guardbr8kr - I lose more and more respect for the Spider as each day passes.It makes me sad. :(

this. Anybody who says Weidman shouldn't be next or says that he's entitled is a simple retard. He's earned his god damn shot and when he opens his mouth people think he's entitled?? I would be pissed and disgusted if I was Weidman. Silva is ducking him and he's no less of a draw than Rockhold is

I'm okay with this fight. I just want to see the champs defend their belts more. Seems like it's only once or maybe twice a year that these guys want to fight now.

However, in recent interviews Luke has been saying how he'd take the fight, but would rather have another fight first. Seeing those interviews made it seem like he didn't really want the Anderson fight.

Now, the Silva camp wants the fight. Several people also have called Anderson a bully. Not that we'll ever know, but, I'm curious if he wants the fight now because he thinks Luke is already mentally beat, if it's because it's the easiest match up stylistically, or if he just wants to stay busy.

You are a fuckin tard. If you don't like that Dana gives immediate title shots to champs of other organizations such as Melendez, Diaz, Alvarez, and now Rockhold, guess you'll just have to cry a bit more.

A manager stating that ALL of them are good challengers, but they prefer fighter XXXXX means nothing as a chmpion of the UFC. He will fight who he is told to fight. Anderson's MGR's opinions are just that. Opinions.

It's not like Anderson is telling Dana "No, I want fighter XXX" like a certain champion just did. ;)

I can't stand weidmans sense of entitlement. He has won 5 fights in the UFC and only two were even impressive.

He needs more time . Fight with Rockhold makes sense

and how many fights in the ufc has rockhold won?

Same as Melendez

Hahaha - I love the delusion that beating on scrubs in the minor leagues is a greater achievement than 5 consecutive wins in the UFC.

W.T.F. - delusional.

It's the idea of a Champion vs Champion fight, not so much who's had the bigger wins. A clash of two champions, kinda sells itself in a way. Plus Weidman is hurt, out until I think summer, so they can definitely get this fight rolling sooner with Luke. It makes little to no sense to hold out until Weidman heals up.
